Biochem. Basically its the study of chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules.

First and second year you take a bunch of general science courses (physics, bio, organic chem, cell bio, genetics, math) to lay the ground work for 3rd and 4th year. It's then that you actually get into the meat and bones of the field. Interesting major and most people use the degree for post graduate studies, be it med school, dental school, grad school and even law.

Overall I'd highly recommend it.
